Mitt Romney and the GOP are a perfect internet dating site match, says Jon Stewart.

Mitt Romney's GOP rivals aren't the only ones piling on the front-runner over his wealth. Jon Stewart did the same — but also gave Romney a curious defense.

The big impetus behind new charges that Romney's out of touch? His remarks in the back-to-back debates in New Hampshire on Saturday night and Sunday morning. ("It's like the Republican primary has become a telethon for electoral dystrophy," Stewart joked of the drumbeat of debates.)

Stewart made a crack about Romney's wealth, too, pointing to Romney's account of his pleasure that even though he'd lost a Senate race to Ted Kennedy, he'd cost the Kennedy campaign a pretty penny in the process.

"You forced Ted Kennedy to mortgage one of his houses? What a weird, rich-guy thing to brag about," Stewart said.

But the rest of the GOP field is being hypocritical when it criticizes Romney for using his wealth, he added.
